Failed to add ThresHold Rule Values in Load test counter. Getting error message. "Could not load file or assembly '****.dll' or one of its dependencies. The Specified module could not be found."

Question

Hi,

 

I had follow the steps given in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404665%28VS.80%29.aspx link.

1. Open a load test.

2. In the Load Test Editor, expand the Counter Sets node.

3. Expand one of the Counter Categories in one of the Counter Sets. For example, you can select LoadTest:Scenario. Expand the node.

4. Right-click one of the counters, for example, User Load, under LoadTest:Scenario. Select Add Threshold Rule.

   The Add Threshold Rule dialog box is displayed.

 

But when i clicked on Threshold category and right clicked on add new threshold value then an error message appears:

"Could not load file or assembly '****.dll' or one of its dependencies. The Specified module could not be found."

 

Please guide. I am using trial version of VS 2010. is this problem due to trail version. or any other issue is there.?

 

 

Regards,

Hi Rubel,

 

"Could not load file or assembly 'AbstractFormatIOManaged.d.dll' or one of its dependencies. The Specified module could not be found."

 

Actually i'm working with this AbstractFormatIOManaged dll. Although this assembly is in the output directory and unit test is able to load this But i don't know why its showing this message while setting the threshold value.

Hi,

Do you see the same error when you try to run the load test without adding the threshold rule.

Thanks,

Hello Jaspinder,

Thanks for your post. And what about your issue now, have you resolved it?

Could you please try to copy your solution to another machine to see if you can add the Threshold Rule?

Hi Vicky,

 

No this issue is yet not resolved I’m still facing same problem.

I had created a dummy project where I’m able to set the threshold values and that is because of I haven’t added any references which I required for my another project and which is actually facing the problem. But this dummy project does not have any references and it have only one test in it. Please see the detail for your references:

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Text;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
using namespace Microsoft::VisualStudio::TestTools::UnitTesting;

namespace TestProject4
{
    [TestClass]
    public ref class UnitTest1
    {
    private:
        TestContext^ testContextInstance;

    public:
      
        ///</summary>
        property Microsoft::VisualStudio::TestTools::UnitTesting::TestContext^ TestContext
        {
            Microsoft::VisualStudio::TestTools::UnitTesting::TestContext^ get()
            {
                return testContextInstance;
            }
            System::Void set(Microsoft::VisualStudio::TestTools::UnitTesting::TestContext^ value)
            {
                testContextInstance = value;
            }
        };

        [TestMethod]
        void TestMethod1()
        {
            int a, b;
            a=10;
            b=20;
            int c=a+b;
        }
        [TestMethod]
        void TestMehod2()
        {
            int a, b;
            a=10;
            b=20;
            int c=b-a;
        };
    };
}

 When im adding this into Load test than its start working and throwing thresholdvalues.

"The performance counter category 'Memory' cannot be accessed on computer 'A' (The network path was not found) ; check that the category and computer names are correct."

 

 

Type	Subtype	Count	Last Message
Exception	LoadTestCounterCategoryNotFoundException	1	The performance counter category 'Memory' cannot be accessed on computer 'A' (The network path was not found) ; check that the category and computer names are correct.

 How to resolve this issue...

 

Regards

"Could not load file or assembly 'AbstractFormatIOManaged.d.dll' or one of its dependencies. the specified module could not be found."
